As I started writing this story, I realized itâ€™s hard to write a dramatic story when everything goes as planned. Itâ€™s not like I was stuck out in the desert at night with no food, no water and no light. We couldnâ€™t have asked for a better result, we had very few mechanicals and the whole team did super fast laps from start to finish.

I much prefer the velodrome where help is never more than 500 feet away.That story right there is not helping to sell me on the whole concept of MTBing.

I've wondered if insurance companies will ever put cycling on the "The List" of life insurance payment exclusions, e.g. - bungee jumping, parachuting, hang gliding, mountain climbing, surfing, scuba diving, etc.
My goodness, that will be a sad day for all of us who have term life insurance that is scheduled to end when the kids are in their early 20's.
Hmmm, risking my life cycling on the highways of the world, or not riding and being able to take care of the family in perpetuity after I get say what, lamely electrocuted in home maintenance electrical mishap? Let me think about this awhile...I hope no life insurance underwriters read this blog. I mean, from lacerations to boils to near-death experiences, we could be in trouble.

Gotta take care of wife and kids... but still feel that you are not old...
i guess it doesn't always work that way...I always thought us middle aged people are into endurance sports because it is adventure without the risk, facing a challenge with misery being likely, but death unlikely (say as opposed to the mountaineer or skydiver).

Thanks. Great writing on your escapade. My Gal Sal won't allow me to do 'envelope pushing' of any type, anymore, and makes me call for her personal search and rescue...I have actually used her help three times in the last two years!
But, I can live on the edge through stories like yours... Attaboy!Kenny,
